sawanv has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello All. Can anyone give me a few pointers for writing a daemon in Perl? Something that listens on some port and replies to some requests made via sockets. What stuff do I need to know (functions, libraries, modules, packages etc)? Hints, tips, URLs, welcome. Thanks Sawan
